Black And Silver Water Marble

This is my first ever (just about) successful water marble! 😀 It’s taken me ages just to get this technique to actually work! *does happy dance*

It’s far from perfect, there are loads of bubbles and I missed a big bit on my thumb also the clean up was an absolute nightmare! Even with taping up my fingers, the silver polish is lovely but the sparkles are really sticky!

I started off with a base of Pumice from Sally Hansen, I created the water marble in a paper cup with two polishes from Orly, Liquid Vinyl which is a glossy black creme and Dazzle which is the sparkly silver metallic.

I found it worked best when the water was slightly cooler than skin temperature rather than at room temperature, I was in my kitchen and it tends to be a bit cold in there!

This looks awesome, great job, it looks like the stone Agate! Try putting chap stick or something similiar around your cuticles/fingertips instead of tape. Its easier to apply, take off and the polish doesn’t stick to your greasy skin! 🙂 Works a treat.
